Pokémon Wartortle Illustration Rare 171/165 – Scarlet & Violet 151 – ACE 10 Graded Card

Up for sale is a Pokémon Wartortle Illustration Rare (171/165) from the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion, professionally graded ACE 10 (Gem Mint).

Numbered 171/165, this card sits beyond the standard set list, marking it as a special Illustration Rare pull. Illustration Rare cards are highly sought after due to their detailed full-art artwork, lower pull rates and strong collector demand within modern Pokémon releases.

Wartortle represents the key middle evolution in the iconic Squirtle Wartortle  Blastoise line. As part of the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion — dedicated entirely to the original Kanto Poedex — this Illustration Rare carries strong nostalgic appeal and is ideal for collectors completing full starter evolution displays.

The full-art Illustration Rare treatment enhances the dynamic scene-based artwork, giving the card excellent display presence when preserved in a professional slab. Evolution-line sets in matching high grades are particularly desirable within graded collections.

An ACE 10 grade confirms Gem Mint condition, reflecting exceptional centring, sharp edges, clean corners and flawless surface quality.

Professionally graded in the UK by ACE Grading, the card is sealed in an official tamper-evident protective slab to preserve its pristine condition long-term. A premium addition for collectors building 151 master sets, full starter evolution runs, or high-grade Illustration Rare portfolios.
